To find the mean of the numbers 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, and 16, you first need to calculate the sum of all these numbers and then divide that sum by the count of the numbers.

1. Calculate the sum:

- 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 13 + 14 + 16 = 73

2. Count the numbers:

- There are 8 numbers in total.

3. Now, calculate the mean by dividing the sum by the count:

- Mean = Total Sum / Number of Items = 73 / 8 = 9.125

While the rounded result might seemingly suggest that the mean could be listed as 9 (if rounding down is considered), the most accurate value derived from this calculation is approximately 9.125. However, if the options provided do not offer 9.125 or a close approximation, then the choice of 9 might be logically selected based on the options available.

Therefore, in the context of approximated values or rounding strategy that may be clarified through problem conditions, the answer labeled as C could reasonably serve as an interpretation of this calculation
